Secondary glazing in Stoke Newington

The housing in Stoke Newington is largely Georgian terraces, large Victorian houses, mansion blocks and converted flats. On listed buildings, secondary glazing is often the preferred way to improve comfort, but check with the conservation officer as listed building consent may still be needed.

Behind Victorian sash windows, vertical sliding secondary glazing aligned with the meeting rail keeps the view uninterrupted and lets both windows open for ventilation. For flats where the lease or freeholder prevents changing external windows, secondary glazing fitted inside is usually the simplest way to reduce traffic noise and heat loss.

Hackney Council has several conservation areas here, including around Stoke Newington Church Street, and planning officers pay close attention to front elevations. We check the rules before quoting, and suggest secondary glazing for listed homes. The A10 high street is noisy too, so acoustic glass is worth adding. We are about 3.5 miles away.

Secondary glazing is a discreet second window fitted on the inside of your existing windows, leaving the originals untouched. It suits listed buildings, conservation areas, flats where external windows cannot be changed, and anyone wanting to cut noise and draughts without replacing period windows.

• Keeps original windows in place
